In the coming days, we'll convey
more information about the upcoming run/walk at the end of October. Plan to
reserve Sunday, October 28, for the event. You can either walk or run in
the 5K distance... or sponsor a participant. All proceeds benefit brain
tumor research. Packets were available at Sunday's celebration. Hopefully,
you picked up a packet. If not, Missy Jackson is our team captain of the
Jim Wroot Salute Team.

Her number is 827-1169.
